Your assumption is wrong.
As Dag explained on his blog modern apt-rpm supports repomd format and 
can use the same repositories as yum.

That sounded like good advice, Filipe, so I gave it a try (even though
it's going to be hell to get the security team to open yet another
hole in their firewall).
It installs fine, and an initial test displays the phpmyadmin page,
which - understandably - complains about the blowfish_secret.  So I
edit config.inc.php to define it, and am back to the wonderful "403
Forbidden".  Only this time, even "setenforce 0" doesn't get me out of
the woods.

I'll go back to my initial install, as I really cannot afford to lose
more time over this.  (Two other projects need to be finished by
tomorrow evening.)  SELinux is on my list of to-be-learned.

Kind regards,

Herta

There are a lot of dependencies needed by mplayer, they usually have a guide 
for all of this. Unfortunately I do not have mplayer installed, but if someone 
else here on these forums by chance has it installed they can rpm -qf 
/path/to/libs on all of those missing libs and see where they are located and 
or what package they belong to.

Don't use `rpm` to install it, use yum

# yum install mplayer

I note that package is from the rpmforge repository (since its name 
includes .rf.), so you could add support for rpmforge to your system via...


# rpm -Uvh 
http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm


THEN do the "yum install mplayer"

I second the recommendation for NX, especially if you want a full desktop.

There is a better version of NX in the upcoming 5.2 release in the

The major difference between nx/freenx and vnc is that NX is compressed, 
so the desktop is pretty much like running it on the machine, where vnc 
(and normal X forwarding via ssh) are much slower.  I use a remote NX 
desktop all the time, and it really is just like being on the machine.

Yeah in all the tests i've done personally i've found FreeNX to be a bit faster.

No it isn't.

Use priorities (newer) as it allows more flexible control
over protectbase (older).

Other then that your configs look fine.

Re: [CentOS] YUM and installing older versions of software.

[Laurence Alexander Hurst]

James B. Byrne wrote:

How does one specify a particular version of a software package to yum to
install?  Is this even possible?  What happens to superceded pacjkages in
repos? Are they simple removed/discarded?

yum install package-X.Y.Z-A.el5 ???

The reason I ask is if a yum update goes awry for some reason then how does
one revert to the previous (working) version? I seem to recall that up2date
had a feature whereby one could locally archive superseded packages and
rollback to a previous version was required.

I've spent some time struggling with this issue too. The current version 
of yum will let you specify an older version (as detailed in the man 
page) and install it - but you then have to be very careful with your 
`yum update`s to avoid accidentally upgrading it. Once you have a later 
version installed you cannot, currently, downgrade it - the only way to 
install an older version "over" an existing version is to remove the 
package and then explicitly install the older version, and this can 
result in some nasty dependency issues.


As has already been pointed out, this looks to be about to change in the 
next version(s) of yum in CentOS.

Once I build a system and bring it to our defined baseline, I rarely use rpm
from that point forward...I custom roll almost everything -- especially
apache. (red hat's layout makes my skin crawl) When did CPAN become so bad?
It was the defacto standard and source of truth for perl modules 10 years
ago. I trust CPAN over any rpm provided by red hat. Maybe things have
changed, it has been several years since I got down and dirty with perl
modules...

Anyway, problem is solved by changing perl -w to simply just perl. Since
this system is buried behind 2 pix firewalls and only used for internal use
Im not to concerned.

[CentOS] What will the upgrade to 5.2 be like?

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have a few servers that I really have to build already.  Got to buckle 
down and get it done; no more waiting for 5.2 as a 'reason' to put it 
off for another day.


I will be building a local repository for 5.2 as soon as the ISOs are 
posted (well as soon as my 768Kb DSL link will allow), so what am I 
looking at for the 'cost' of the upgrade?

It isn't that CPAN is bad - after all, that's where the packaged 
verisions originate too.  It is that module features and dependencies 
change over time and you need a consistent snapshot to work together. 
When you install an RPM package it keeps the version and dependencies in 
the RPM database and won't make changes that break any dependencies. 
When you install via CPAN it sort-of figures things out during the 
install but only for the perl portions and doesn't update your RPM 
database so a subsequent 'yum update' will happily overwrite your CPAN 
installed modules with something much older (just newer than the 
previous RPM).  If some other module needed the newer features, things 
are now mysteriously broken.  The fact that you can get away with this 
at all indicates how compatible how backwards-compatible they try to 
keep things in perl, but once in a while - ikely in the long lifespan of 
Centos - there are some changes that will break things.

Hi,

Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki

 I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter 
any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates 
(addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on 
the rpmforge repo I used protect=0 and did not set any priority. Should I 
enable only one (protect base or priorities) and not both? Thanks.



Just for the record, basically protectbase is priorities with only 2 
settings (0 and 1)


So, if you have both installed, protectbase will override the priorities.

So, you should pick one or the other, but not both.

Just for the record, basically protectbase is priorities with only 2 
settings (0 and 1)

So, if you have both installed, protectbase will override the priorities.

So, you should pick one or the other, but not both.

1. Actually, they still work, the install instructions have not changed.

[CentOS] centos 5.1 install failure

[Monty Shinn]

Greetings.

I am attempting to install 5.1 x86_64, but it is dumping out during the 
post-install section.


I was able to send a debug to a remote system.  I've never looked 
through an install debug log before, but everything seems to be in order 
until after the "tar" install, at which point I get the following error:


error: db4 error(-30977) from dbcursor->c_put: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal 
error, run database recovery


This db4 error runs until the system finally notices a crash.

This box ran centos 4.x for over a year without a problem.

Supermicro motherboard
Intel 3.2 gig Xeon procs, x2
8 gigs memory
3ware 9550 12port SATA
3ware 8006 2 port SATA

No other pci cards.

I also ran memtest with no errors.  It ran for approx. 15 hours.

I tried to install with the 5.0 discs as well, but that install failed 
as well.


I turned of ACPI in the bios after the second failure.  This didn't help.

I have been using the graphical install.  I am about to try the 
text-based install.


Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Monty

Hi ya'll,

I built a new CentOS 5.1 server for a client, housing a Lotus Notes /

soon

will have to physically move that server to another distant location.

My question is that I will need secure access to those servers via X, not
just the C/L terminal. What do you recommend for a good secure CentOS
program which would do this. Would also want to access via a high 
port, but
I am sure just about any program will allow this to be manually 
configured.


Thanks for your help and input.



Gary,

You can run X apps over ssh if you use the >> -Y << option.  You can 
also configure ssh to use a non-standard port in it's config page.


I also believe you can port (tunnel?) VNC through ssh, but I have only 
heard about that, so I may be off here.  VNC is part of the standard 
CentOS distribution.


HTH,

Monty



Personaly, i use TightVNC and portable PuTTY (USB Key) for Winblows.  It 
works ok.  And the port forwarding thing is easy.  I'm not sure if the 
CentOS' vncserver support compression though (performance is OK for what 
i do).



On the server, edit the file ~/.vnc/xstartup and uncomment the lines (as 
indicated in the first line comment):


# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER   <=== This
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc <=== and This



Then start the VNC server on the server (first time, it will ask for a 
password which you will use when connecting with TightVNC viewer), for 
example:


vncserver :20 -depth 16 -geometry 1152x864 -name ServerName:MyUserName

where

:20 = the # of the terminal (i arbitrarly choose 20, you can start 
multiple on the same machine and choose whatever you want)


-depth 16: Color bit depth

-geometry 1152x864 = Whatever you see fit

-name = A string that will appear in the window title of the VNC client.



Then, while connected with PuTTY, connect TightVNC viewer to: 
"localhost:20" (without quotes).



To kill the VNC server: vncserver -kill :20

[CentOS] question about expert install for 4.6

[Jerry Geis]

At the boot: install prompt for 4.6 there is a i586 option.
there is also an expert option.

If you use expert mode can you also specify i586 somehow?

[CentOS] New to Centos, and linux in general

[Michael]

I've installed DSL linux -- no problem
My expertise is in the HP3000 (non windows, non unix) environment.

When I boot from Centos CD#1 I get a Panic error. I'm thinking 
hardware is the issue so I try a different machine, same thing.
I've tried 'linux rescue', 'linux mem=256' still the same error, which 
is mostly unreadable to me because most all the messages roll off the 
top of the screen.


I am willing to buy new hardware, what hardware will just work right out 
of the box?


Or are there other boot options?

Have you tried to check the media?

At boot:

linux mediacheck

Check each CD as it prompts you to replace them. If that fails try it
with DMA turned off.

linux mediacheck ide=nodma

If everything passes, try the install with the nodma option then. That
has caused me grief in the past.

Perhaps you should state your hardware where you tested CentOS, but most
older hardware(server hardware) is known to be compatible with CentOS.

[CentOS] can't install software, "not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 5 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet"

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi all

I've just installed CentOS 5.1 x64, from the 1st CD (minimal

[CentOS] struggling with simple webdav

[Craig White]

Normally I use authzldap to authenticate LDAP users but in this case, I
have a client that wants non-LDAP users to be able to use DAV.

The twist is that there are several virtual hosts on this server and
perhaps that is confusing things...

anyway, my httpd.conf has...


  Dav On
  AllowOverride None
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "DAV-ADV"
  AuthUserFile /var/www/html/passwd/user.passwd
#  require valid-user
  
Require user craig
  


and my user.passwd works because I can login fine.

but when I try to save a file - say with OpenOffice to...

http://www.example.com/webdav/test.odt

I get this error (always)...
Error saving the document Untitled1:
The object cannot be created in http://www.example.com/webdav/.

but the directory has suitable permissions I would think...

# ls -ld webdav
drwxrwsrwx  2 apache apache 4096 Jun 19 08:33 webdav

so I changed the group on this folder...

# chgrp users-all webdav
# ls -ld webdav
drwxrwsrwx  2 apache users-all 4096 Jun 19 08:33 webdav

which craig is definitely a member of and still the same error...

Anyone?

Avoiding accidental updates is as easy as putting exclusion rules in
your yum repo files.  I do this routinely to prevent my OOo 2.4.1 from
getting overwritten by (and me getting notices for) "newer" revisions
of older base versions.  (Exclusion rules don't care which way the
update would go, up or down.)

If your distrust of Red Hat is so high, one has to wonder why you're
using CentOS at all.

No insult or deprecation intended, it's just that there are many Linux
options around, enough of them free.

Personally, I like the stability and reliability of CentOS (RHEL)
enough to put up with any inconveniences I have found so far.
Besides, the support on this list is sublime.

[CentOS] 3ware performance in CentOS

[Florin Andrei]

Have a look at these pages:

http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/06/13/3ware-performance-in-centos/
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444759

I'm comparing the default 5.1 64bit kernel with the patched one posted 
in the bug report (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz32.x86_64) and I 
don't quite see any significant difference in write performance for this 
command:


dd if=/dev/zero of=/logs/test bs=100M count=1000

(100GB of data, written in 100MB blocks)

It's a Supermicro server, the motherboard is (according to the stuff 
painted on the mobo itself) Super X7DBI+, Intel Xeon L5420 with 8 cores 
total, 3ware 9650SE using the driver from the manufacturer's site.

I tested 2 disks in a mirror RAID volume.

Results:

kernel  timespeed
==  =
patched 75min   23M/s

That kernel (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz32) has nothing to do
with the issue you are referring to.  It was used by Jim as an

You are comparing the wrong kernels. The bz32 kernel was for an
NFS related bug and has no 3 impact on 3ware performance. The redhat

Then probably a reboot as there is a new kernel release.

[CentOS] lvm with iscsi devices on boot

[Raja Subramanian]

Hi All,

My CentOS 5.1 server is using iSCSI attached disks connecting
to a dual controller storage array.  I have also configured multipathd
to manage the multiple paths.  Everything works well, and on
boot the dev nodes are automatically created in /dev/mapper.
On these devices, I have created logical volumes using lvm2.

My problem is that lvm does not recognize these iscsi/multipath
volumes on boot up.  I need to manually run "vgchange -ay"
and mount the logical volumes by hand.

I tried running the vgchange and mount commands from
/etc/rc.local, but that has no effect.  I have verified that
/etc/rc.local itself is executing correctly.

What do I need to put in my boot up scripts so logical volumes
in iscsi/multipathd devices are automatically recognized on boot?

TIA!

- Raja

The cost depends on what you need to do to support the distribution,
which depends on your needs. For me I just started at a new company
a few months ago who standardized on RHEL 4.x. I'm just starting to
prepare CentOS 5.1 for use, it takes me about 3-4 days of work
preparing our environment to support  a new major release. Lots of
custom RPMs, custom configurations etc. Though when CentOS 5.2 comes
out the work will be minimal, probably 2-3 hours. At least at this
company, the bulk of the load is run in Java which is easy to
deploy. My last company ran the bulk of the stuff in Ruby on Rails,
and there was a good 35 RPMs I had to build to support each
version/architecture just for Ruby. The package management in Ruby
sucks so I turned all of the ruby packages into RPMs.

You don't give any indication what version your using now(if any),
or what your using the systems for, so I think it's impossible to
answer the question without more information.

LVM initialization is fairly early in the init. It is probably running long 
before your iscsi connector is starting. Maybe you could try moving its 
startup earlier?

There are step_by_step instructions at the below URLs on how to
install MPlayer and other multimedia stuff. You should also install
Yum Priorities and any additional Repositories you will need and set a
Priority for each Repository. I have MPlayer running on an updated
(5.1) Desktop, without any problems. I use MPlayer to listen to a
radio station in Alaska on StreamAudio.com and I watched a video with
it, a couple of days ago.

I'm looking forward to upgrading to 5.2!   If for nothing else, for
the newer version of Mozilla Firefox. The current version (1.5.0.12)
crashes, very frequently, at web sites I use.  The brain dead version
of Konqueror (3.5.4-15) is much more stable than this version of
Firefox. Everyone will, hopefully, BACKUP, before they do this

Check out: http://people.redhat.com/mchristi/iscsi/RHEL4/doc/readme

I think the key here is to add the _netdev option in fstab for
those filesystems over iSCSI, even using LVM.

Mostly, if you're using the stock 3w9xxx module that comes in centos,
you're affected.

If you're using the 3ware driver from 3ware/amcc, you can look in the
source for  mwi and see if it's being set/enabled.

Thanks for setting me right.

I wonder if a test closer to real life, such as reading/writing stuff

[CentOS] linux rescue on usb thumbdrive

[Jerry Geis]

I believe the same issue I see with running "linux rescue" on
a USB drive is the same issue I am having why the thumb drive wont boot.

When installing I have to use expert mode I just cant install directly 
as the USB disk is not seen.

What happens extra in expert mode? some delay somewhere???

When doing a linux rescue it looks for existing installations and finds 
none.
This is because the USB disk is not yet ready. If I do "fdisk -l 
/dev/sda" from the shell given
it is not there, wait a couple second do it again and NOW the fdisk -l 
/dev/sda shows the device...


Its just like when you stick a USB disk in a working machine. takes a 
few second to be mount-able.


So the big question is how do I get the USB disk to be recognized a FEW 
second later?
The boot is happening tooo fast and I think and my USB disk is not yet 
ready. That is why it cant find

my ext3 file system on the disk.

I am so close to getting this thing running.

Any suggestion/comments on what I am finding and how to get past it?

Thanks guys.

That is probably the reason for the new version. Most of the time RedHat only 
issues new versions when backporting becomes difficult/impossible. They are 
almost as protective as Debian has been.
A web browser crashing on a distro originally designed for servers was 
probably a low priority for them. They probably assume that a browser is 
usually used to read docs or download packages.

Ahemm.

A sane CentOS setup?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8|grep -i
glibcxx
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

So you have a newer gcc and some program requesting a more current
libstdc++.

Does that help?

I agree with Scott about the philosophy involved. Although Upstream
sells a Desktop version of RHEL, the vast majority of installations
are  on Servers and Desktop users are a much lower priority. Those of
us who are Desktop users are lucky, with what's coming in 5.2.

[CentOS] FF3 printing problem on Centos 4.x

[fred smith]

I'm using Centos 4.x (fully up to date) on a system at work. I have also
been using firefox 2 (directly from mozilla.org) on it for a long time, 
and it tends to work just fine.

yesterday I installed the new FF3 release. It works fine too, with one
exception: The print dialog shows no printers! The print button is greyed
out! There actually four or five printers defined on the system, and all
other apps find them fine, including FF2.

So far no one has replied to my query on the mozillazine forums. Anyone
here got any suggestions I can try?

Thanks!

[CentOS] Help with gcc 4.3.x and libfortran errors

[Scott R. Ehrlich]

I am trying to install gcc 4.3.0 or 4.3.1 on a 64-bit CentOS 5.0 machine, fully 
patched, and keep getting:


make[3]: *** [libgfortran.la] error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory /path/to/source/libgfortran
make[2]: *** [all] error 2
make[2]: leaving directory /path/to source/libgfortran
make[1]: *** [all-target-libgfortran] error 2
make[1]: leaving directory /path/to/source
make: *** [all] error 2

Web searching has yielded a myriad of hits, including various bug reports.

Is this a known bug with a workaround, or do I need another package to make it 
work, or do I need to adjust my configure line to make things happy?


Thanks for any insight.

This is the second build related issue you've posted about in the last
few hours. Perhaps you could share a little insight into what your end
goal is here, or what you're building which requires this newer
software. Traditionally this isn't the sort of thing centos is used
for, so you've got my curiosity up.

Yes, when you use the Desktop Effects you are basicly swapping the normal 
window manager called metacity, but a 3D window manager called compiz.


compiz apparently does not have that feature (showing the dimensions of a 
window). I guess you have to choose...

I had that problem when I started using Seamonkey's 2.0 pre-release,
which incorporates a lot of the changes that went into FF3.  The new
mozilla software uses the CUPS print system, so if you're not using
that, or there are problems there, that's one place to look.   On
mine, it turned out that, for whatever reason (I never did find out
what), the cupsd daemon had died and never restarted.  I brought it
up, re-added the printer and now it works.

I did notice a couple of days ago that the print button failed on me
again, not just in seamonkey, but everywhere.  I tried restarting
cups, logging out and back in, and wound up rebooting.  I think this
time it had something to do with my printer being offline - the
parallel printers have a problem with reconnecting.

Of course it does. Read the blog article:

You can have both installed next to each other without a problem. And do 
try out synaptic to feel the speed of apt.

gcc 4.3.x isn't a centos component.  centos 5 uses gcc 4.1.2

but, on a build, that first make error line should have been preceeded 
by some other errors from a compiler or other tool which generated the 
error that make is reporting.

Thanks for this. I was wondering if you could tell me the default
priority for the 'priorities' plugin?
I've made a point of ensuring that *every* repo gets a priority even if
disabled. I'm wondering if it is necessary.

Hi Anne, I have many servers running clamav, simply use the dag repos

properly done.

Default level is 99 if not specified.
